What is Training Insights?
Training Insights is a set of smart widgets that track your cycling performance and your daily training progress on ROUVY.
Each metric is based on your ROUVY ride data, and in some cases on your outdoor rides too.
It covers the most requested metrics: 7-day training load, Training Score, Recovery, FTP progress and weekly performance, all of them one tap away.
Where to find Training Insights
Training Insights is available to everyone who updates the ROUVY Companion App.
- Open the App Store or Google Play and update the Companion App to the latest version.
- If auto-updates are on, it updates by itself.
Inside the app it is in two places: a clickable widget at the top of your dashboard, and a button in the centre of the bottom navigation bar. Swipe the widget sideways to switch between your training scores and your weekly statistics.
|
Nothing else changes Training Insights is an extra, not a replacement. The Companion App works exactly as it did before, with more information available to you. |
The widgets
Open Training Insights and you get a series of clickable widgets, each one covering a different part of your training.
|
Training Score |
Your long-term fitness, built from the Training Load of your rides over the last 6 weeks. Training Load is how demanding a single ride was; Training Score is how those rides add up. Both are defined in the ROUVY Vocabulary. The score ranges from 0 to 100, and a higher score means more consistent training. It counts your indoor and outdoor rides, and the other activities the Companion App picks up from your connected devices. |
|
Recovery Score |
Smarter training starts with smarter rest. Your Recovery Score tells you how ready your body is for your next ride. It runs from 0 to 100 and helps you find the balance between effort and recovery. Your rides and your other synced activities feed into it. Health metrics such as sleep and HRV do not, at least not yet: more on those in Multi-sport training and health metrics. |
|
FTP progress tracking |
Keep an eye on your Functional Threshold Power and see how it moves over time. Your FTP updates automatically from your indoor ride data. More about FTP is in this article. |
|
Activity history |
All your past rides in one place, indoor and outdoor alike. Tap an activity to open its full details in the Riders Portal. |
|
Weekly performance |
A weekly overview of your cycling: distance, elevation, calories burned and riding time. These metrics reset at midnight UTC between Sunday and Monday, and include indoor rides only. |
|
Ride frequency |
Weekly streaks, to keep you honest. One ride of 5 minutes or more, indoor or outdoor, counts towards the week's streak. |
7-day training load
The 7-day training load shows how much training you've done over the last seven days, and whether that's in a healthy range for you.
You'll find it in Training Insights, right below Today's suggestion. The card shows:
- your total ROUVY Training Load (RTL) for the last 7 days,
- whether that total is Low, Optimal, or High for you,
- how it changed compared with the 7 days before,
- a short tip on what to focus on next, and
- a chart of how your 7-day load moved, with your optimal range shown as a band.
Your optimal range is personal. It comes from your recent training history, so it grows as you get fitter. If you're new and ROUVY doesn't have enough of your rides yet, the card shows your load and the chart, but no range.
Tap the card for the details. Last 7 days shows the day-by-day chart, and tapping a day lists the activities behind it. Weekly history shows your earlier weeks. Activities shorter than 5 minutes don't get a training load.
Today's suggestion
Your scores are not only numbers to look at. The Companion App uses them to put a workout in front of you.
Today's suggestion is one workout, chosen for the shape you are in today. It is built from your Training Score and your Recovery Score, so it moves with you: a harder session when you have been training consistently and your recovery is good, an easier one when it is not.
You will find it in the ROUVY Companion App.
Both scores are calculated from your recent rides, so the more you ride, the better the suggestion fits you.
Training Insights is here to make your ROUVY journey more measurable, more motivating and, of course, more fun.
FAQ
My Training Score or Recovery Score barely changes ▶
That's expected when your training is steady. Your Training Score is an average of your Training Load over the last 6 weeks, weighted toward recent days, so a single ride hardly moves it.
If you ride about the same amount every week, both your Training Score and your Recovery Score stay almost the same. To see a clear change, you'd need to train noticeably more, or less, over several weeks.
